[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osx67:
Hi all

My Arc was sim locked. I bought and get some different codes such NSCK, NCK, SPCK, CCK.

I used NCK code for unlocking my sim. Now my Arc is SIM FREE, but I can not get into fastboot mode.

Is there a solution for this ? or I must accept that my device is a forever-unlocakble one!?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
Not yet, and pretty much. Hopefully a dev will figure it out at some point but for now it's a waiting game.

[General Questions and Answers] MeX_DK:
I have considered getting one of those online services ie like RapidShare etc and has considered signing up for one, but which one is "ultimately" best?. I know claiming which one is best might be a bit sketchy.

But I would prefer a place where I can basically decide to make folders either accessible to all so they are public so that people can access the folders through a webinderface and download from it. Or that people need to put in a password/key to get aceces. Or ultimately that I am the only one who can access them.

As well as allowing "some" people to upload stuff to the public folder etc.

But can any of these online services handle that?
[General Questions and Answers] themasterfulone:
O I think it can "handle it"...

[General Questions and Answers] plainjane:
Dropbox does pretty much everything you're looking for. Other people can upload to a folder, but you have to share it with them. A shared folder takes away from their amount of storage as if it were their own.

If you exceed 10 gigs of external traffic in a single day, Dropbox suspends the specific file(s)/folder responsible for the excessive traffic for a few days... at least for the first offense, not sure about after. I learned this the hard way.

Dropbox also only gives you a couple of gigs of storage. It's by far the nicest file-sharing client, but very limiting. I use Dropbox to share small files - recoveries, individual images, tutorials, etc. For most of my personal storage and larger files that I need to share, I use crappy file sharing sites like Megaupload etc.

The great thing about Dropbox is that you don't have to link people to some spammy site where you have to wait however long for slow downloads. Click the link and you're prompted to download.

However, if you plan on sharing large files or need a ton of storage, I'd go with something else unless you're willing to pay.

Just got another replacement charge because it was unable to reform a factory reset.. Tried odin humble and gummy both fc everything.. Odin back to stock was having sane problem.. So i noticed that after flashing Rom in odin using pda of course my home screens didn't change n my Google account still logged in.. Took it to store n they couldn't do a reset either.. Did i do something wrong or just bad device?

[Verizon Droid Charge] hoppermi:
You perform factory resets in recovery. If you want to save your game progress, use titanium backup to back up apps and data, then move your card to the charge and restore apps and data from titanuim backup.

Recovery - Press and hold Vol. up, home, and power button, from powered off state. Release power button when Samsung logo appears, hold other two for a few seconds more then release. Your phone will boot to recovery.

Wipe Data/Factory reset is one of the options.

Hi guys - anyone know of a way without modifying a usb cable to make the desire draw full power from a USB socket, 1A instead of 500mA?

Cheers

[Desire Accessories] reaper7881:
No because the phone detects that its connected to a USB port because the 2 data pins are not shorted out ... u have to mod the wire. But then u wont be able to us the wire to connect the phone to ur pc
[Desire Accessories] simpson1991:
Excist a tut for this modification?
[Desire Accessories] dehaani:
I seriously suggest that if you want a tutorial for shorting two lines of a USB cable then you shouldn't be attempting it at all.
[Desire Accessories] drakexpl:
Some motherboards can improve usb power up to 3x, but I don't know if it works with HTC Phones, I know that it works with Apple
[Desire Accessories] thanito:
True, my ASUS mobo supports it with iphone and ipad but not with iPod classic that i have though, weird.
[Desire Accessories] KevAmiga:
nope, im fully aware how to short the data lines to get the 1A charge rate, but im sure there must be a Kernel mod that can enable this?
[Desire Accessories] Chromatic:
Prynhawn da, KevAmiga :)

Kernel mod for what?

The specification for USB is 500mA per port, some PC motherboards are able to provide more, but not so many. I mean the limitation is the PC side.

If you want more current, you need to bridge ports.

[Desire Accessories] mrtt2:
Some very new laptops like the recent Thinkpads privide an option where you can "convert" a USB port (the yellow painted one) to an always-on 1A USB port. I'm pretty sure it charges my Desire as fast as the standard AC adapter. On my older desktop pc though, there's no chance of enabling that, even though the MoBo does have USB3. It just takes ages.. :(
[Desire Accessories] o-marshmallow:
I am also looking for a tut please. ^^
[Desire Accessories] Rescue me:

[Desire Accessories] backfromthestorm:
Kernel mod is available. It charges full power from a usb 2.0. Gingercakes kernel. Desire development section.
[Desire Accessories] YodaDaCoda:
USB cables have four wires. Two for data and two for power.

If you want to modify a cable so that the phone will try to draw full power, you just need to short out the two data lines. From this, the device will think it's attached to an AC source.

In most USB cables, the data lines are the green and blue/white ones. The red and black are power.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badfish_23:
Hi, i'm using the Synergy ROM and love it. The only thing i don't like is the default screen that comes up when the phone rings (in this case it's a big VirusROM logo). I would like to change this to either the stock screen, or perhaps one from another ROM.

From what I can tell, I need to find the PHONE.APK file from the ROM I want and then add it to the phone. What I cannot find is instructions on how to successfully replace the file that is already on the phone. Based on some threads I've read, I assume a simple drag and drop won't work.

Or, maybe there is an easier way? I use GO Contacts as my dialer, the only thing i'm really looking to change is the large picture that shows up for any contact who does not have a pic associated (none of my contacts have pics, so it comes up for every call for me).

Any advice/suggestions appreciated. If I missed this information in an obvious place, I apologize.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Absolute_Zero:
Use Ninjamorph (on your phone) or apk tools on your computer to replace /system/app/Phone.apk/res/drawable-hdpi/picture_unknown.png with whatever you want.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badfish_23:
Thanks! Is there a certain file size or resolution that the file needs to be?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Absolute_Zero:
Yes. If there's a theme that has an image already made for it that you would rather have, you can just replace with it since it would already be sized appropriately. Otherwise, there should be several themeing guides that walk you through how to extract the apk, create the replacement images, replace them, and recompress. Just look for some good themeing guides. I don't have any links handy but they shouldn't be difficult to find.

The error on screen for Galaxy S ii is " HDMI not available while application is running. Application will display on phone only"

is there any work around this?

Can this be fixed by tweaking Rom/kernel? or is a hardware limitation.

[Motorola Photon 4G] dg2445:
Has anyone tried any of the wi-fi tethering apps on the market with a rooted Photon? Did it work or will we have to wait for an unlocked bootloader and a custom ROM?

I find tethering to be occasionally useful, but not useful enough to pay an additional $30/month.

I usually tether to a tablet so Bluetooth/USB solutions won't work.

Thank you.

[Motorola Photon 4G] MultiDev:
Can you tell me if it runs in AP (Infrastructure Mode) or Ad hoc?

I had this problem originally on my evo (before wifi tether supported infra) that a lot of devices will only connect to an access point running in AP (infrastructure) mode.
[Motorola Photon 4G] halmo20:
It only worked on Adhoc mode. I could connect laptops and ipod/ipad but not Galaxy Tab10.1. I had to do Adhoc modification on the tab so it can connect. I hope wifi tether app gets updated to support AP mode on Photon soon.

[Motorola Photon 4G] kchaser:
Could not get wifi tether to work on my rooted photon no matter which mode I used.
[Motorola Photon 4G] MultiDev:
The software has the options, but the drivers must support it. The Evo didn't get infrastructure mode support in the drivers until 2nd 2.2 update I think.

Either, its up to the wifi tether people to update it for photon like they did for the evo.
[Motorola Photon 4G] manekineko:
On a rooted Photon, is there a way to enable native Android tethering, which seems to be currently hijacked by the Sprint app? Because that would provide infrastructure mode.

[Motorola Photon 4G] brobin111:
I've rooted the MoPho and installed the beta version of WT. I've also tried Barnacle and even the native Hotspot function in the phone all to the same result.

I can see the SSID in inSSIDER and on the network list in Win7. I select it and enter the security key but get a message that Win cannot connect.

Ideas? Am I missing a step?
[Motorola Photon 4G] brobin111:
After some more tinkering I found that if I turned off encryption WT beta works. It's quite slow even with a 4g connection but it works. I also tried Barnacle and the native hotspot application and they both connected but had no internet access.

Ao it looks like WT beta is the answer. Now if anybody can help get encryption to work that would be most helpful.

[Motorola Photon 4G] tjrhine:
Out of the box most tablets will not support adhoc connections. I have a Galaxy tab and to get it to work you need to root and then replace your wpa_supplicant file. Go search in the forum for your tab and see what you can find. My tab connects using wifi teather just fine now.

Yea, I was planning on doing this when I get home. I checked into that after I posted. Thanks though!

I was trying out the Wifi Tethering from the "android-wifi-tether"

http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list

Wifi Tether for Root Users 3.1 Beta-5

Question : it seems to be working good, but I tried to test an incoming call to the photon while I was connected to a tablet PC and the phone would go straight to voicemail. I would be able to receive SMS from what it seems.

I remember on my HTC Touch Pro 2 windows mobile 6.5, that if I did receive an incoming call - wifi tethering would be interrupted when an incoming call came through -

Was there a setting in there to allow that? Or am I missing something - I did not try the default wifi tethering one they had in the market.

* Edit : it seems that incoming calls work IF*** there isn't an active stream happening, i.e. downloading something, watching a streaming video, or loading a web page. If I am connected and just typing an email or reading a web page once loaded, the call will come and then I can resume where I left off without restarting the tether app or reestablishing a connection.

I know GSM can do both simultaneously, but if there was a way to STOP data while amidst streaming - that would have been cool - if anyone knows, please share.

Guess also the tablet pc running windows 7 os that came with it, hp slate 500 doesn't run on the android wifi tether official market - the network doesn't detect it.

And before you come with an asinine response, maybe you should read the OPs full statement. "I usually tether to a tablet so Bluetooth/USB solutions won't work."

Hence, why I gave my issue, as he may run into the same problem. I never discredited your answer, so there was no need for you to say, "I answered him correctly thanks." I also made my statement because there are people who don't know "why some of your guys' isnt working". Obviously you must not have understood the nature of my response.Other people went about giving him options on how to get over the issues some of us are facing.

Found a thread in the dev section that explained how to enable infrastructure mode. Set the Device-Profile to Samsung Galaxy S, then Change Setup-Method to Netd (master). You might get a few IP errors that eventually go away. I also changed my LAN to use 10.10.1.0/24 but I'm not sure that did anything good or bad. Props to Ion4 for the info.

Sure as sh!t. This somehow forces the built-in mobile hot spot to activate. So, when it is running like this, I can see two networks. One is ad-hoc and the other is infrastructure.

Any way sprint might be able to put charges on this? I doubt it, but I figured I would ask.

EDIT: I think the key might just be using Netd (master) setting.

[Motorola Photon 4G] sub2k1:
It seems that you can't see the connection if you have encryption enabled in adhoc mode. Setting it to AP mode seems to work with encryption. This is pretty awesome but I worry that somehow this is just activating the sprint tethering service and that this could show up on my bill.

[Motorola Photon 4G] android-nub:
If you feel savvy enough, you can grab the framework.jar file from either the epic or evo 4g hotspot hack zip file and move it over into the /system/framework folder. Back up the existing and rename SprintZone.apk to SprintZone.bak as well because it will start to throw some errors. I also went and deleted the delvik-cache contents to be sure I didn't have any stale data. This will enable the Sprint Hotspot application like it does on the other devices, might take a minute or two before it comes up but looks like it is stable so far.

Edit: As soon as I connected my laptop, the 3g started dropping out. I can get dns but no data pass through. Any chance someone can take a look at the jar file and maybe update it for this device?
